It would seem to me, therefore, that one way to avert any future impending mishaps, is continually engaging in discussions that attempt to honestly convey one anothers experiences in the hope of eliciting a common value judgement that permits all people to live in peace --- a rather lofty goal, I admit.
But then I see places where Mike and I can find where our viewpoints part company:
Yet, I agree with Solzhenitsyn's final words. I think sometimes, Joe, you put far to much emphasis on an abject belief in falsehood, as you call it, due to scientifically perfected mass hypnosis when, in truth, it is simply humans being humans.
A good study on that, in my opinion, is the work of Edward Bernays. I've done some study work. Another suggested source is the work of Eric Fromm. One more source, is a small book I found in Mom's Antique Store titled Prescription for Revolution by Lindner.

Prescription
To say that we are "simply being human" targets is an olive branch intending to bridge the gap in perspectives?
To all, bear, Mike, and Sergey, on my viewpoint I offer occasional updates on what I call The Liberty Day Challenge. I put copies of those updates on this forum.
